NEW YORK, March 5.-Henry Ward
Beecher is so seriously i'll that his pbysi-
clans are issuing bulletins in regard to
him at short intervals. He has had an
attack of apoplexy.
MAJOR POND NOTIFIED,
WASHINGTON, March 5.-Mai. 7 p
Pond, who was here to-day on buslneso
for denry Ward Beecher, received telp-
gram from Mr.. Beecher's son abont
O'Clock this afternoon stating that Mr.
Beecher had been Frustrated by an at.
tack OF apoplexy. at 7 O'Clock
before he left for New
YORK. Mai. Pond received another
telegram from Mr.. Beecher's son stating
that Mi. Beecher was still In the stunnr
which had followed the attack. Ana
showed no signs of rallying. Mai. Pond
stated to the NEWS correspondent thai
this attack was the first, and not the Acc
ond, stroke of apopleXy which Mr.. Beech.
er had received.
THE CHICAGO ILLNESS.
1t Will be remembered that last season
while MIR. Beecher was occurring in chi.
cago to large audience, he was sud.
denly Obliged TO suspend and to leave tho
platform on account OF illness. This IN
ness was supposed at the time to be
stroke OF apoplexy, but it was not, II
was merely an ordinary disease of tho
bowels. Maj. Pond stated that when he
saw Mr.. Beecher yesterday he seemed as
well as he had ever been. He was then
hard at work on paper he was preparing
Tor the Century Magazine on the Wall
made to England in 1868, which was to
be inculcated in their forthcoming yolumsI
of war articles.
HARD AT WORK,
He had Cancelled all his lecture engass.
ments Tor this season in order TO devote
his spare time entirely to literary WORK
he was pressing the second volume of
his Life of CHRISTI under a contract 70.
Gently made with E. l.. Webster & Co..
by MAJ. Pond, and was planning an
autobiography to be published by tbs
same hrm. Mr.. Beecher was look.
ing forward with much pleasure tn
next summer, when he would have cels.
brated in June his seventy-tourth birth.
day, and in August his golden wedding.
and the fOrtieth anniversary of his mas.
torate in Plymouth Church. If hs
RECEIVERS from his present attack he win
probably be obliged to suspend all bis
literary work Indefinitely, and to retire
for time at least from his pastoral
labors. Mrs. Beecher who is nearly
sevenry-four years OLD is in Ill health, and
would probably not long survive hin
should he die.
DEATH CONSIDERED INEVITABLE,
NEW YORK, March 3, ILLS p. Natl
O'Clock tonight MIR. Beecher seemed
slightly easier and his mind was clearer.
1t is evident that the physicians have
small hopes of prOlonging mis- life many
days. although they do not put that
opinion into words. The utmost they
have said of encouragement IL that they
think he will NOT die tonight.

NoGALEs, ARR, March 5.-Gov. Tor.
res, of Sonora, Mex, and his staff, ac.
companied by Col. Arvizu, arrived this
morning from Hermosillo. Gov. Torres,
on learning the particulars of the affair
of Thursday, censured the Mexican Con-
sui, Senior Labodie, in unmeasured terms
for not delivering Lieut.. Guitterez, who
led the soluiers in the attack on the
Americans, to the American authorities
Immediately. Col. Arvizu, In order 20
clear himself, stated to Gov. Torres that
the Americans were at fault where
upon the Gov. said: 1.-THE Americans
are not IN fault. They were not In
Mexico fghtingyou. What business had
your soldiers iHthe United States armed
and fighting the United States authorl-
tiesw Gov. Torres Is highly indignant
at the action of the local Mexican authOrl-
ties. Upon learning that Vasquez, chief
OF the Mexican police, had been removed
for refusing TO take hand against the
Americans he Immediately reIpstated
him. He was ordered to take a force Of
men to secure Lieut.. Guitterez and turn
him over to the United States authorities.
The Chief thereupoD dispatched ten
mounted men, fully armed, TO scour the
country and bring in Guitterez dead or
alive. This, il Is believed, Will prevent
further trouble.

"A SCRATCH OF THE PEN.
CLEVELAND. URGED To SIGN
THE RIVER ANDHARBORB BILL.

Niafms that He has a Legal Right to
naks<the Measure Law Despite the
ADJOURNMENT of Congress-The Presi-
aent and the Attorney General Take
Opposite View.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-An effort has
!peen made since the adjournment OF Con-
igress to induce the President to sign the
river and harbor bill, and those Interested
an securing this action assert that there Is
nothing In the constitution to prevent his
luoing so now, il he is so disposed. Several
members of Congress, including Repre-
ssentatives Willis aud Dibble, are of the
opinion that he has the power, and have en-
lueavored to persuade him to sign the bill.
Mr. Willis said to-day that there was
pothing In the constitution which pro-
EVlded that the President should sign the
Pill before IL O'Clock on March a, or that
pe should report the fact of bis signature
20 the House. The only provision with
Eeiation TO bills not signed before the eX-
pifation OF Congress, ne said, was that the
Ten days limit should not operate TO make
g measure become q law. He called
ON the President to-day and suggested to
MIN that he sign the bill now unless he
objected to its provisions. The President
uniformed him that he could not do so, as
ne was fully convinced that his constitu-
ttlonai power to sign or veto acts OF Con-
gress expired with the adjournment OF
that body. Attorney General Garland
agrees entirely with the President on this
question.

A
May NeCessitate One.
WASHINGTON, March 5-There is a
prospect that an extra session of the next
Eongress may be called in the fall. If SO,
1t will be because the present proceeds of
taxation will then have piled up over
1860, 000, 600 surplus In the Treasury, and
dhe three per cents having been all paid,
fhere will be no outlet for it. Speaker
Carlisle would not be surprised to See an
extra session called to meet the revenue
problem which MIR. Randall prevented
tbe late Congress from solving.
I Speaker Carlisle says he would be we'll
satisfied with the late Congress if it had
only reduced taxation. lts appropria-
hions were less than tbose of the Forty
Eighth Congress, and 1t passed more use
aul Legislation, but it failed in its chief
duty. The Speaker said that be had not
fead Senator Hoar'S attack upon him
Except what had been reported in the
newspapers. and that but to-day, and
Shat he did not propose to give it serious
consideration. He thought Mir. Hoar
twas unfortunate in citing MIR. Blaine by
WAY OF contrast with himself, because
vt wan on record that Mr.. Blaine
had once recognized man, and
then when the man announced
that he took the floor TO move the pessag e
of bill under suspension OF the rules,
INK Blaine withdrew mis- recognition aud
hook the mem Der OF the floor. MIR. Hoar
twas a member OF the House at that time,
but IL is not on record that he protested
against Mr.. Blaine's action, as he sand he
would have done had ne been q member
of the House when MIR. Carlisle refused
IN advance to recognize Mr.. Randall. The
lepeaker thought Mr.. Hoar ought not to
nave mIsrepresented the issue between
himself and Mr.. Randall. Mir. Randall
gdid not submit tariff proposition, as Mr..
Bcar asserted. Mr.. Randall submitted
an internal revenue proposition and that
Ewas exactly why it was not accepted.

MORRISON to be Chairman and Two
Yet to be Chosen.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Presi-
dent has, it is now understood, definitely
determined upon three of the interstate
Commerce Commissioners and they have
all signfied their willingness to accept.
They are William K. Morrison, of Illinois,
Chairman; Gen. Bragg, OF Alabama, a
Democrat, and Judge Cooley, of Michi-
gan, a Republican. The latter at fret
declined because he wished to fully exc
cute his trust as receiver Of the Wabash
railway. But he has finally. it Is under
stood, signitied his Willingness to accept.
The remaining two members of the CON-
mission the President would like to take
from the New England and the Middle
States. Charles z. Clark, of Boston,
would undoubtedly have been the New
England member had 1t not been for
the controversy over the bonds OF the
New York and New England railroad. All
the proceedings in this matter were sent to
the President and carefully read by him.
He came TO the conclusion after reading
them, without passing at all upon the
merits of the questions involved, that
the appointment of Mr.. Clark would
excite hostile criticism and therefore
was inadyisable. Professor Hadley, of
Connecticut, is considered as having tine
best chance now. The other member
will not be taken from New York. This
may be considered as settled. He will be
taken ii he can only be found from either
Pennsylvania or New Jersey.

UNITARIAN CHURCH.

March l3. 1887. Text-Isa. 81: 10.
The leaders In religious thought have been
impressed more than others. with the suffering
OF humanity and the sins and imperfections Of
life Being thus impressed they have sought
for means BY which the world might escape
this sin and suffering. IL not in this world then
in the world 10 come. The plan OF salvation
advocated has depended upon the doctrine held
in regard to this world. God and man. As the
Buddhis,s and the christians differ in their
theories Of God. man and the world so they
differ in their ideas OF salvation. Jesus and
Buddha differed far less in this respect than
DO their followers. As religious thought be
comes more intelligent. however. the human
race seems TO come nearer together in the
doctrines Of salvation. While the vast ms
jority OF christian churches may vet be advo-
eating . system Of salvation founded upon the
story Of the garden OF Eden and the fall OF
man. nevertheless every intelligent person has
the means Of knowing that the story Of the fall
OF man has no foundation that IL at all reason
able, that, in fact 1t cannot be true. So while
the outward appearance may not indicate the
change taking place yet the internal transition
i none the less sure an radical. The world
is advancing in the belief that man il being
continually saved and that the kingdom OF
heaven I. being built up by earnest aud truth
ful toll done by those who seek TO establish
right living aud overcome evil and the con-
sequences Of evil By righteousness. Every
lover and promoter OF righteousness il work
ing with God In uplifting humanity above the
evils OF the world.
